First grade

Here's another layout to share from the awesome scraplift challenges at Scrapperie earlier this year. There are so many things I love about using bright colors and fun papers! Sierra is especially good for this, because she is quite the little fashionista. Coupled with me working at The Children's Place, this kid has an awesome wardrobe! I have to say, it comes in super handy for first day of school pictures and matching scrap products. So, yes, she was homeschooled this year, but we do co-op and that is her 'school' in the sense that we picked a first day outfit and did the standard back-to-school supplies shopping trip for her classes, so that's where this comes from this year.

Big bonus- my ScrapRoom kit included this awesome Crate Paper bliss line that perfectly matched the feel of the lift layout and the colors of her outfit, and I just LOVE Crate Paper anyway. So here ya go, some inspiration for today!

The Girl Behind The Camera

There is a challenge going on right now at ScrapRoom to use the oldest kit you have. I found this one from August 07 that I still had every piece of! Not the most specatacular layout, but I really challenged myself to use only the kit and nothing else. The only thing I added was the alpha stickers! Enjoy!

Authentic

I posted awhile back that there was going to be a free photo editing class at JessicaSprague.com, and it started on Monday. The first few lessons were about layering PNG files and using brushes on your photos, so I was inspired to play around with some. For this one, I used a square PNG frame and the 'authentic' brush on the photo before I sent it out for printing. Then I used a sketch from a challenge at Scrapperie and my new July ScrapRoom kit.

Port Townsend

This layout came from a sketch challenge this week at The Scrap Room. I love this Fancy Pants paper and I've been waiting patiently for some summer photos so I could use it! I also used some packaging from the Prima scribble flowers as a border on the top & bottom of the main photo.

Frontier Days

The Scrap Room is doing a LOAD (layout a day) challenge, which I love because it makes you actually think about creating something every day, and sometimes it forces you to just glue it down already. I have these pics of Sierra from Frontier Days at school, and the colors were making it pretty hard to work with. On top of that, portraits are so much harder to scrap than everyday pics. So this time I used a May PageMaps sketch and just got it done. It's not my favorite, but it's another picture scrapped (and another sheet of cardstock used! I have WAY too much cardstock that I hardly use, but more on that another time).

Happy Birthday Card

I made this card today for the first challenge at 365 cards. Today's challenge was a sketch, and I had this cupcake from Feb's kit at The ScrapRoom that was perfect for a card accent!
